The paper deals with a Dirichlet spectral problem for an elliptic operator with -periodic coefficients in a 3D bounded domain of small thickness . We study the asymptotic behavior of the spectrum as and tend to zero. This asymptotic behavior depends crucially on whether and are of the same order ( ≈ ), or is much less than ( = < 1), or is much greater than ...
